Display Duration and Duration to Bill fields in hours, not days or minutes
The Field Service application UI converts the time to the highest base time. For example, looking at the editable grid “Work Order Services” Duration To Bill is displayed “3.25 hours” but when you click on it, it shows in minutes, that is "195" However, if you go to Work Order Service form itsel...
Add relationship between Work Order Service Task and Incident Type Service Task
When the Work Order Service Task is generated from Incident Type (OOB logic), the ‘Name’ field (on Work Order Service Task) is populated with Service Task name (Task Type Name) I think in many scenarios it would be better to use Incident Type Service Task name instead. It would be ...
Add option to Work Order Type to get Price List from Service or Billing Account
Currently, the work order inherits the Price List value from the Work Order Type assigned. Often, the price list is actually a property of the Service or Billing Account. Recommend adding an option set field to the Work Order Type called "Price List Source" with values 'Work Order Type', 'Bill...
Thank you for your feedback.
We are not considering the suggestion at this time, however, that is because it is already possible to satisfy this with OOTB behavior. Using entitlements, you can drive pricelist application through many different configurations. It will not apply at the WO level, but will apply at the specific WO Product or WO Service levels. It will even allow variable application with different pricelists applying to different WO lines based on their unique applications.
We sincerely hope you'll look into this existing feature as we believe it will allow this capability and much more complex scenarios.

Ability to roll up multiple Work Orders into one Invoice
All of our customers have asked for the ability to roll up multiple Work Orders into one Invoice for their clients. A lot of their clients have many Work Orders throughout a single month, and they would prefer to have one Invoice for all of them as opposed to one Invoice per Work Order. Ideall...
Thank you for your feedback.
We think this idea is interesting. If this idea gains more votes, we'll look more closely into what it would take to deliver this feature.
One area we'd be interested to understand in more detail is whether these customers are using an ERP system to handle their more complex invoicing requirements. It would seem like a simpler ask to satisfy once the data from FS is integrated into a financial system.
As always, we really appreciate your feedback. Keep the suggestions coming.
Thank you,

Put weather data in the work order
As much of the work is done outdoors, and we know the date, time and geolocation of the work, we should show a "Card" with the target location weather, at the least. Many of our customers will not perform outdoor work during thunderstorms, or when temp is too hot or too cold. Having this weath...
Thanks, Pierre.
We think this is a potentially good idea. Let's see if this gets more votes. Please campaign for this one as we think it makes sense but we'd like to see what the community thinks.
Thanks,

Anomalous Work Order Identification
Use machine learning to highlight Work Orders which are significantly outside of the norm is some way (Price, Duration, Number of bookings, etc.) to allow organizations to look at a select list of work orders which may yield both opportunities for an organization to learn how to improve their ...

Thank you for your feedback.
I really like this idea. I'm going to look into whether this is possible and, if so, how much work it would require and whether there are any complexities to consider around refreshing the form. That said, currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and may consider it in the future.

Utilize booking time stamps to create work order services
Allow for an association between booking time stamps and work order products (could also associate by incident type). Generate work order services when the booking time stamp is created or have a flag to determine timing to generate. In many implementations clients are not understanding the dis...

Currently, avenues for incident types are as below. 1. Creating incident type from model-driven app 2. Uploading incident types through importing 3. improving Incident type through AI suggestions While creating a work order for which no specific Incident type is available (consider a situation...
Accessing Work Orders easily in custom workspace
Currently, having a list of work orders in a custom workspace does not allow you to open right into a specific order. Instead, from the list you click the hyperlink to a work order, it opens an intermediate list page outside of the workspace that you then have to click into to open the work order...
